In the late-night show\u2019s latest episode, Damon brought up Kimmel\u2019s week-long suspension by ABC. He joked that President Donald Trump canceled the comedian and that he was a fan of the cancellation.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Matt Damon jokes the \u2018President canceled\u2019 Jimmy Kimmel after the latter\u2019s suspension<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the latest episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Jimmy Kimmel welcomed Frankie Focus, New York State\u2019s new mascot, who promoted smartphone restrictions in the classroom, whom he described as \u201cneon Chewbacca with glasses on\u201d and \u201cgiant fluorescent monster\u201d on stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Things took a hilarious turn when Frankie started ragging on Kimmel. He said he could tell the comedian didn\u2019t get a college degree and asked the audience if they thought the comedian was dumb.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">An annoyed Kimmel said he wasn\u2019t going to let \u201ca hot green sewer Labubu\u201d insult him. Frankie countered, saying he wouldn\u2019t let \u201ca guy who looks like they dragged Jimmy Fallon out of the Gowanus Canal\u201d insult him either.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A suspicious Kimmel took off the mask, revealing Matt Damon, who shouted, \u201cI made it on the show!\u201d as the audience cheered. Kimmel told audiences to stop cheering and asked him why he wore the Frankie costume, wondering if it was a \u201csex thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cLook, I wore this costume because it\u2019s the last chance to get on the show,\u201d Damon responded. \u201cI know we\u2019ve had our differences over the years, but I just, I wanted to be here tonight for your last show ever. I just want to say goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Kimmel said it wasn\u2019t his last show. \u201cBut the president cancelled you,\u201d The Martian actor replied. Damon joked that he was a fan of Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s suspension. \u201cI mean, when he said you had like zero ratings and no talent, I was like, I\u2019ve been saying that for years,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Jimmy Kimmel reminded Matt Damon he was only off air for three nights. In response, the latter asked, \u201cAre you serious? Is there, like, some kind of appeals process? F**k! This sucks!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Kimmel then told the Oscar winner to leave, saying he had \u201creal movie stars to talk to.\u201d The former asked the latter if he had heard of Tom Hanks. \u201cHave I heard of Tom Hanks?\u00a0I\u2019m Private Ryan, dips***, Tom Hanks saved me,\u201d Damon responded. \u201cAnd America will never forgive him for that,\u201d Kimmel countered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Damon left, but not before taking Kimmel\u2019s mother, Joan, with him. He said he lied about the costume from the aisle, jokingly adding, \u201cIt is a sex thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Originally reported by Abdul Azim Naushad on\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/pop-culture\/news\/2038670-jimmy-kimmel-suspension-canceled-abc-matt-damon-skit\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Comingsoon;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Comingsoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1669697-jimmy-kimmel-suspension-canceled-abc-matt-damon-skit\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Matt Damon Takes Jibe at Jimmy Kimmel in Funny Skit About His Suspension;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Matt Damon Takes Jibe at Jimmy Kimmel in Funny Skit About His Suspension<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matt Damon made a surprise appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, resuming his false rivalry with Jimmy Kimmel.
